4. Consideration of and action on recommending a two year /ease extension with David L. Jones, d.b.a. Air Direct, LLC, in consideration for upgrading the door on Hangar N at Cox Field. Motion was made by Jack Ashmore, seconded by Harry Michalewicz, to approve the item as presented. Motion carried 7-0. 5. Discussion of the 2008 Fly-In. Pete Kampfer stated we need an air boss to coordinate an air show. We can get helicopters, Sky Hawks, Snow Birds, wart hogs and F-16s (Cannon AFB). Glen Chapman stated he can get a B-52 to fly over. Pete Kampfer stated we could get good organization and do it right, and try to double or triple what we asked for last year from the Chamber ($2500). We need to consider supplying fuel to get them here. We can get an Army rock climbing wall, and in conjunction with the fly-in have an air show. Harry Michalewicz stated an air show will cost the City a lot of money. Pete Kampfer further stated if the military is involved, there are escalated requirements and FAA involvement. Jack Ashmore stated he talked to Muskogee, they put on a nice air show and they have a F-40. They don't put on a long show, but it's nice and they'll do it for the cost of fuel. He has contacted another pilot that does wing walking for $1,500. For all three, it will cost only $6000, then we can have an hour long show. He further stated that the hospital thought they could give us that amount. We will need to block off an hour of no one flying in or out. Pete Kampfer stated he wants to keep building on this every year, and we might potentially have someone come in who wants to move here, build a hanger, build a business here, etc. Pete stated he will help with website, marketing and getting funding. The Fly-In will be the last Saturday of September. 6. Request for future agendas. Fly-In, courtesy car report, facility/airport marketing. 7. Meeting adjourned at 6:30 p.m. APPROVED THIS 21 ST DAY OF FEBRUARY, 2008. Vic Ressler, Chairman - 00(?015
